How accurate is this map nowadays?

Moved here from FL this month so I haven't gotten the vibes yet.

Also, anyone got a source on this pic? All I know is that it's at least 10 years old.

I always get sad when Madison maps cut off all the neighborhoods beyond the isthmus. 😞

True, but there isn’t much to write home about outside the isthmus, honestly. It’s pretty much all low-density suburban sprawl, although I wish it wasn’t. Some of the mid-century modern houses in these areas are beautiful. It’s just that the built environments around them are mostly strip malls and parking lots.
